The conference hall of the manor was filled with the summoned subordinates.

Link was in the top spot with a serious expression.

"Carl, let me tell you about the situation."

"The Lake brothers Tommy and Downey, who set out last week at the order of the adults to recruit crew members and sailors outside the island. They should have been able to return two days ago, but until today, the return sailors appeared on the dock.

The accident happened in the southeast of Miluo Island, on an island near the Golden Sea, where a group of pirates who were living on the Golden Channel were entrenched.

One of the two ships came back, and there were only seven or eight crew members on it. They barely supported them back. They were told by the local gang that they wanted to bring us a message: they had to use the ransom to redeem the Lake brothers and other thirty or forty people."

Everyone was furious after hearing this, and expressed their dissatisfaction with the local gangs that were unruly.

Tony threatened to take his brothers to the island and kill the ignorant pirates who dared to rob them.

During the six months when Link and his men once made a living at sea, there were not a thousand pirates who took the initiative or passively killed by six people, and there were hundreds of people. Although there were few people in the waters near Nord, they were also famous.

Unexpectedly, when they came to a new place, they were put on a trick by the local snake. How could they swallow this? In the eyes of these old brothers, except for the Pirate King, the rest of the pirates were not taken seriously by them.

Varre was also very angry. He had always been calmer than Tony's behavior and actually agreed with Tony's suggestion. After all, there were twenty Vigia guys he brought out from his hometown.

As for Frank, who was relatively quiet on the side, although he recently joined, he also expressed his full support for Link's decision, if they need to contribute their mountain people.

Link was satisfied with everyone's reaction. Although Tony was as radical as ever, everyone did not have any disagreements.

"Okay, I've decided to let the guys in the south see how powerful we are."

Link and his party used to make a living in the North Sea, where it was cold and barren, and the fighting between the pirates was even more bloody and fierce. All the pirates in the North Sea had a consensus: the pirates in the warm places in the south were all smelly fish and rotten shrimps.

Most of the pirates in the North Sea cannot survive and want to fight for their lives before choosing to be pirates. What about the south? The climate is warm and fishing can easily support themselves. Those who choose to be pirates are mostly lazy and cowards.

After gaining a foothold on Miluo Island, Link also thought about killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. The best goal was to choose some pirates from the south to establish their authority.

But unfortunately, the Gini people around him are "famous". The waters around Miluo Island are famous for being difficult to crack, and it is difficult to see pirates appear several times a year.

"Varre, you bring thirty Vigia guys with you, all the equipment.

Frank, pick up twenty powerful crossbowmen and go with us."

After hearing this, the two of them took the order and took the initiative to leave first.

Link glanced around, his subordinates were full of fighting spirit and could not wait to fight against the pirates outside the island.

"Jon."

Jon, who was standing by, was just thinking about what equipment he had to wear this trip, whether it was leather armor or the set of composite armor that Link gave him recently.

He was shouted and panicked and realized something was wrong.

"Jon, you know, I trust you the most among the old brothers!"

Tony and others looked at the nose and the heart, and realized that Link was going to say next, without saying anything.

"You just stay and guard the island. This is not the first time. You just have experience."

"Boss! Not this time!"

As expected, Jon immediately refused excitedly: "The two little brothers Tommy and Donnie usually have the best relationship with me. If I don't go this time, I will feel uneasy!"

After saying that, no matter how kindly Link persuaded him, he would not agree.

‘Mad, is there any truth in nature? Shou’s family is so safe and refuses to go out and fight with others?’

"I think you're just itchy and want to go out and have a sex exercise?"

Link stared at the old guys in the hall. Tony, Kenneth and others who were swept by his eyes all looked away and refused to look at him, pretending that nothing had happened.

"It's for your own good that you don't let you go. Do you think it's so easy to fight? The sword has no eyes..."

As he was talking, Link couldn't continue to say anything. He remembered that there was once when Kenneth fought with people. The number of people on the other side was large. Link and others couldn't save them and solved the enemy in front of them. Kenneth had already been stabbed more than a dozen times by the siege of seven or eight people, and even two stabs were stabbed in the stomach.

Everyone thought he was going to die at that time. Link was so sad that he was with him to drink with him, preparing to send him the last trip. As a result, after drinking for three days, Kenneth was as lively as if nothing had happened.

Since then, Link has known that these guys have amazing self-healing abilities, and it is really difficult to die.

"Hmph"

In the end, Link couldn't resist Jon and promised to let Frank guard the island.

According to the rumored crew members, there were thousands of people in the "Black Water Island" occupied by pirates.

Although Link is very confident in the combat effectiveness of his subordinates and knows that these thousands of people cannot be from the pirate gang, the disadvantage of the number is still an indisputable fact.

"Carl, Tony and I took the boat first. After we went out, we would rent a passenger ship and come back. At that time, you can arrange for those Kini soldiers to support us."

There is no way, there is only one three-masted sailboat left on the entire Miluo Island, and it can only carry dozens of people at most. Link is even more anxious to own a fleet.

Carl responded and went out to discuss preparations with the indigenous leaders.

Everything was ready, and Link was waiting for everyone to gather at the port pier.

Twenty Rodok Mountain crossbowmen wearing chain-combined armor and holding steel crossbows arrived first. They were fully armed with hats and helmets and shields, and their bodies were wrapped in armor, looking cold and strict.

The Vigian mercenaries led by Varre are not so good in comparison. The leather armor and giant shields are all kinds of heavy weapons, including nail hammers, long-handled double-edged giant axes, battle axes, and the most long-handled guard axes. These Vigians seem to have a special liking for weapons like axes.

Wearing leather armor can ensure their flexibility in slashing weapons while raising shields.

With a horn helmet on the head, they are fully armed with tall figures, like a group of snow-white brown bears walking upright, giving people a great sense of intimidation.

“Go on the boat!”

With Link's order, the soldiers began to board the ship.

"Show well!" Frank, who was left behind, instructed the people of the mountain people who were about to leave. The crossbowmen wrapped in armor could not see clearly, so he could only nod.

It was already evening, but Link didn't want to wait until the next day, and urged the crew to leave the port quickly.

Half a month left before the trading day agreed with the Sverak family, the "Black Water Island" will take three or four days to go back and forth, and this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
